Craig Levein.        Rusty Musket. Useless and can't be fired.

My one was still for a Hearts player. 👍 

I’m beaten on this one then.  🤷🏿‍♂️

 

Guessing his surname was White?  

 

Real shot in the dark from me there, though.

Defender during the 90s.

 

Surname not White (or variations of the spelling).

Allan McManus. 👍 

 

 

Never heard that in my puff.

 

Can’t even work out why he’d be nicknamed that?

I may be wrong but I think it was to do with his tanned complexion. Choccy as in chocolate. 

 

He was part of Neil Berry's testimonial events which involved a golf day at Liberton. His comical play seemed to attract several shouts of Choccy from his team mates. I think Neil Pointon was out to win that day as he was taking everything very serious. 😂

Makes sense, Sam.  

 

Thank you. :thumbsup:

I've no idea about Preston's. I get the impression it's a name that's stuck since his youth.

I've quoted this before on another thread. That seems to have been a name given to him by the media. His team mates called him Sticky.

Wasn’t prestons because he always crumbled in the box? That’s what I have heard for years now.

Is it maybe a misspelling,  chalky,  for his snooker playing namesake?

I couldn't tell you. It was quoted in the EEN a few times during his playing days by other players but never elaborated on. 

 

Could pose the question to Lockey's brother to see if he could find out next time I see him around.

Thrush, Michael Stewart

Robbo refers to wee Tommy McLean by this name on his This is Your Life celebration. 😂

 

Dave Bowman is Bo and Henry Smith referred to as Big H by a few of the speakers.
